Reiterating his old campaign slogan of “Make America Great Again,” former President Donald Trump says he's ready to win the 2024 election and unify a country that he describes as divided by the current president.
What Happened: Trump announced his intention to run for the 2024 election back in November. The announcement could set up a potential rematch of the 2020 election, which was won by current President Joe Biden.
“I’m here to defend the United States again. I’m here to make America great again,” Trump said during an appearance on the Full Send Podcast.
Trump said that his original slogan “Make America Great Again” is one of the "best ever," and he believes it's a pivotal part of his plan to reunite the country.
“We never put America first, we have politicians that put America last, Biden puts America last.”
Trump said that before COVID-19, the United States had its best jobs market in history.
"Everybody, every single group, was doing better than they ever did."
Trump said that it was the greatest the United States was ever doing and he was “destroying” China in its bid to be the top economic country.
“Had COVID not come in, we would have had a unified country.”
Factcheck.org points out that during Trump's presidency, the U.S. economy lost 2.9 million jobs, and the unemployment rate rose by 1.6 percentage points to 6.3%.
